Like most Baptists, we are Christians first, Baptists second. But, being Baptists does set us apart. As Baptists, we believe the Bible is the authority on which all other beliefs stand.  We also believe that salvation is a transformative event accessible only through the finished work of Jesus Christ. Concerning where we get our name, we affirm that all believers should be baptized after salvation as a demonstration to the world of their faith in Christ. Additionally, we believe that each believer is a priest and can come directly to God with Jesus as their only mediator and each believer has the right to think through the Bible with the Holy Spirit and no one can tell them what they must believe.
